    If a phones locked to a network, only that networks sim will work in it.
    The fact that some virtual networks piggyback on the real networks doesn't mean that the sim compatible. The network codes (which the sim/network use to access) are different for every network.

    I suggest getting an unlocked phone or getting your current phone unlocked. This will allow you to have any network sim card of your choice.
    Kind Regards
